MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF LEESBURG TOWN COUNCIL, SEPTEMBER 8, 1965
A regular meeting of the Leesburg Town Council was held in the Council Cham-
bers, Leesburg, Virginia on September 8, 1965, the. meeting being called to order
by the Mayor and with a prayer by Councilman Cole. Those present were Councilmen
C. A. English Cole, C. Maloy Fishback, Maurice R. Lowenbach, Jr. , Walter F . Mur-
ray and Robert A. Orr ; also Town Manager James W. Ritter, Jr. and Town Attorney
George M. Martin. Absent from the meeting was Councilman John W. Pumphrey.
Mayor Rollins welcomed Councilman Walter F . Murray as a member of this body,
. _ this being the first meeting of the new organization. .
•
Mr. Frank Myers appeared with regard to several matters having to do with - -
the Dry Mill Subdivision. His request for the waiver of certain requirements
of the Subdivision Ordinance with regard to the Performance Bond for Sections
3A, 4 and 5 was not granted by the Planning Commission and the Commission rec-
ommended no change in the Ordinance at this time. However , Mr. Myers pointed out
that he believed his plan might have some merit in the future. His prime pur-
pose in appearing before Council at this time is to request a sewer line for •the
Dry Mill Subdivision. He pointed out that there are, at present, 24 homes occupied
in this subdivision, with two more ready for occupancy and 84 approved, which
would mean well over 100 homes over a period of years. He said that this sewer
line is more than he can finance alone and he asked that Council consider this
sewer line in their bond issue. Mr. Myers reported that he had, at various times
over the past several years, discussed the possibility of sharing the cost of a
sewer line with the original developers of Leesburg Estates and the prospective -
developer of another tract of land in the area, but all have since fallen through.
After discussion by Council , Mayor Rollins referred this matter to the Utility
Committee for their recommendation.
. The Minutes of the meeting of August 25, 1965 were approved with general
consent. - . .
Also present to address the Council were Mr. William Harding and his at-
torney, Mr. Frank Hyde , with regard to the proposed route of the storm drainage
i - project through Mr. Harding's land. Mr. Hyde stated that the engineer had de- s,. .
signed two directions this storm drain could take and said that Mr. Harding pre-
fers the one over the other. Town Manager Ritter presented the plans showing
the two different directions and explained their location and cost, the one Mr.
Haring prefers requiring two extra manholes and costing approximately $1,000.00
more than the original plan. Mr. Hyde pointed out the natural drainage way
• on the map and stated that Mr . Harding had already given the Town the sanitary
sewer line easement. Mr. Harding also made several points, explaining that he
- proposed to eventually develop a portion of his land and run a street through it.
After a great deal of discussion, upon motion of Councilman Lowenbach, seconded
• by Councilman Orr, Council voted by unanimous roll call vote to go on record as
approving the change of the location of the line from the east side of Mr. Hard-
ing's property to. go directly west and then north, as proposed on Storm Drainage
Improvements, Town of Leesburg, Project 1 , Page 2 of 9 of plans of Walter L.
Phillips dated May 3, 1965.
Mayor Rollins remarked that the condemnation offer to Mr. Harding was in the
amount of $750.00. Mr. Hyde said he would like to know to whom to talk with re-
gard to the damage costs involved. Councilman Fishback suggested that this pro-
posal be made to the Council and Councilman Lowenbach suggested that it be dis-
cussed with the appraiser and invited Mr. Hyde to the Utility Committee meeting
at 7:30 tomorrow night.
Mayor Rollins read to Council a letter from Mr. F. A. Carboine , Chief , Air-
ports Branch of the Federal Aviation Agency, which letter advises the Mayor that
the sum of 429,500.00 has been allocated to the Leesburg Airport for the construc-
tion of -a parallel taxiway extension 1750 ' x 40' . The letter, a copy of which
is attached hereto., stated that no grant offer would be issued unless definite
arrangements are made to provide an improved two-lane access road to the Air-
port. Mr. George P. Hammerly, Chairman of the Airport Commission, remarked
that this is furthering the progress of the Airport and that the State had come
through with a like allocation about 6 or 7 months ago and that FAA is matching
these funds. He said that arrangements were being made through the Loudoun County
[)1\ Board of Supervisors for the building of the access road and asked that Council
pass a resolution empowering the Airport Commission to proceed in order to secure
, these funds from the FAA. After discussion, upon motion of Councilman Lowenbach,
seconded by Councilman Orr, Council voted unanimously that the Airport Commission
i

be ordered to proceed with the further development of the north taxiway at the
Airport with the funds that have been allocated by the State and Federal Govern-
ment. Mr. Hammerly reported that Mr. Hirst of the Board of Supervisors said that
he would secure the remaining rights-of-way needed for the access road within the
next two weeks. Also, Mr. Bozel has told Mr.- Hammerly that construction will be
started within the next day or two, starting at the Airport.
Mr. Hammerly asked that the Council take some action with regard to the zon-
ing around the Airport in accordance with the suggestions of the FAA. Upon motion
of Councilman Orr, seconded by Councilman Lowenbach, Council voted unanimously L..
that the Airport Commission be empowered to go before the County Planning Com-
mission and discuss with them appropriate zoning around the Airport, as recom-
mended by the FAA.
Mr. Hammerly asked for action on the Airport Commission 's budget , which has
been submitted by the Commission, and also for some action with regard to their
request for the rolling of the airstrip. Mayor Rollins replied that both of
these matters would be taken up at the next meeting.
Upon motion of Mayor Rollins, seconded by Councilman Fishback, Council unani-
mously adopted the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED by the Town Council of the Town of Leesburg, that the
regulation requiring a 36 ' road within the corporate limits of the Town
of Leesburg shall not apply to any road approved prior to August 25,
V 1965, or to any road currently under construction until it reaches a
0 cross-road. This Resolution shall have no effect on the type of ma-
terial required for roads within the corporate limits. The purpose of
this Resolution is to prevent a road having two (2) widths between
crossroads.
Town Manager Ritter said he did not have a report to make to Council , but re-
quested that an executive session be held immediately following the meeting with •
regard to a storm drain easement.
Councilman Fishback asked where the Town Police were the night of the storm,
to which Councilman Murray replied that he knew of two of them that were direct-
ing traffic on S. King Street where a limb had blown off a tree. Councilman
Fishback also reported that Mr. Roy Stowers had called him, complaining of air-
planes flying too low over his buildings and stating that he understood they
were not to come over his buildings at all. Councilman Lowenbach reported that
Mr. Stowers had also called him and both Councilman Lowenbach and Mr. Hammerly
stated that all steps were being taken to stop, this and that signs had been
placed on the bulletin board to this effect. Mr. Hammerly stated that every
step is being taken to operate the Airport as safely as, possible.
Councilman Orr asked what progress is being made towards the construction of
sidewalk, curb and gutter from the Esso Station on down on S. King Street. Mr.
Ritter replied that this project will be undertaken by Town crews just as soon
as the sidewalk, etc. is completed on Old Waterford Road.
Upon motion of Councilman Orr , seconded by Councilman Fishback, the follow-
ing resolution was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, certain appropriations were made during fiscal year ending
